Seed Grains -(Continued) 
Barley 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry 
land. 40 to SO pounds. 
COLSESS—A hooded or beardless six row, hulled 
barley with very stiff straw. Adapted to the 
mountain irrigated areas and the cooler sections. 
Popular when used as a nurse crop. 
CI.UB MARIOITT—A six-row, rough awned, hulled 
early barley: particularly adapted to eastern Colo¬ 
rado non-irrigated plains section. 
FI-YIVIV—A six-row, smooth awned barley yielding 
about the same as Club Mariout. The smooth 
awned or thinner hull has increased its popularity 
In the plains area and other non-irrigated sections. 
Firo—This is a high yielding barley, very much like 
Trebi except that it is smooth awned. 
TREBI—This is a six-rowed, bearded, hulled barley 
adapted to irrigated conditions. At the Fort Col¬ 
lins Experiment Station it outyielded all other 
barleys in a .six-year test. Though it is a rough 
awned variety it has the advantage over coast 
barley :r that the awns thresh free from the grain, 
thus eliminating considerable danger in feeding. 
WHITE BALD OR HULLESS—Threshes out like 
wheat, is beardless and equal in feeding value to 
corn. It is early and will make a grain crop in 
high altitude, and is excellent if cut for hay. 
WISCONSIIV NO. 38—A smooth awned six-row barley 
adapted for malting purposes. 
.4.ny Variety Postpaid (5 lbs. <iOc) (10 lbs. 90c) 
(25 lbs. S2.00). 
Oats 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; on dry 
land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
COLOR.4DO 37—A mid-season white oat similar to 
Swedish Select, except for fewer awns, higher 
yield and stiffer straw. Adapted to the irrigated 
sections of northern Colorado and the cooler re¬ 
gions of other sections. 
BliUNKER—-A very early uniform variety of 
drought evading, .smut resi.stant, red oat. Well 
adapted to the non-irrigated plains area and high 
altitudes. Yielded 60 per cent more than Colorado 
37 at the U. S. Drylatid Field Station over an 
eight year period. 
M.4RKTON—A mid-season oat with long, slender 
to mid-plump, yellowish white kernels, particular¬ 
ly adapted to warmer irrigated sections and is 
rapidly finding a place in northern Colorado where 
it is outyielding Colorado 37. 
Bl.IS.s SIDE—A selection from White Husslan Side 
Oats, which produces an abundant quantity of 
oat hay in the mountain areas. 
VK'l'ORV—Similar to Colorado 37 with heavier, 
taller straw. 
SWEDISH SEI.ECT—A Standard heavy yielding 
white oat. Hull is thin, kernel large and plump; 
straw is stiff and strong enough not to lodge. 
.Viiy Variety Postpaid (5 lbs. (50c) (10 lbs. 90c) 
(25 lbs. $2.00). 
Rye 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre; on dry 
land, 30 to 40 pounds. In ordering spring or fall rye, please 
note that we supply these spring or fall as they are supplied 
to us, but we cannot guarantee them to be such, as it is im¬ 
possible to determine the variety from the appearance of 
the seed. 
SPRING RYE—Spring rye makes an excellent crop 
where winter grain has been killed or blown out, 
or for sowing where a fall crop has not been 
planted. It is sown largely for early pasture and 
is often cut for hay. Sow seed same time as other 
spring grain. It does not grow quite as large 
straw as winter rye. but usually yields as well, and 
the grain is of fine quality. 
FALL OR WINTER'—This is the hardiest of any of 
the fall grains, and can be grown on a greater 
variety of soils. It will thrive in dry seasons 
and on light, sandy soils. It is grown for grain, 
for hay, for pasture and for plowing under for 
soiling purposes. There is no grain crop that 
produces as much and as good pasture as fall rye. 
If sown in August, makes a fine fall and winter 
pasture. Fall rye may also be sown in the spring, 
when it makes splendid summer pasture, as it will 
not go to seed as does the spring rye. 
Po.stpnid (5 lbs. (>0c) (10 lbs. OOc) (25 lbs. $2.00). 
Speltz or Spring Emmer 
Sow 40 to SO pounds per acre on non-irrigated land; 60 
to 80 pounds on irrigated land. 
A valuable grain belonging to the wheat family. 
Kernels are tightly enclosed in hulls which adhere 
at threshing. Speltz has a feeding value equal to 
oats, and only slightly less than barley and corn. 
It is extremely rust resistant, and will not lodge 
like other grains, because of its stiff heavy straw. 
Speltz can be grown on many kinds of soil, rich or 
poor. 
Its earliness and hardiness enables it to mature 
before the hot, dry weather comes on. It is a heavy 
yielder, often producing 75 to 100 bushels per aci e 
under favorable conditions. 
Speltz makes wonderful feed and is especially fine 
for hogs and poultry. 
Postpaid (5 lbs. 65c) (lO lbs. $1.00) (25 lbs. $2.25). 
Misc. Farm Seeds 
Buckwheat 
Buckwheat is easily raised and will make profitable crops 
on rather poor land, where other grain would fail. It is 
also largely used as a cover crop in orchards. Sow in 
June or July, using 50 pounds of seed to the acre. 
.I.VPANE.SE—This is tlie largest buckwheat. 'I’lie 
plant makes a more vigorous and larger growth 
than the common kind and yields more. 
Postpaid (5 lbs, SOc) (10 lbs. $1..50) (25 lbs. .$3.(M)). 
Flax Seed 
WILT-RESISTANT—Flax is the be.“;t and most prof¬ 
itable crop for sod or new lands, growers frequent¬ 
ly realizing more from flax on sod than from wheat 
on old ground. Sow early, as soon as possible 
after danger from frost has passed. To raise seed, 
sow one-half bushel per acre: for fibre, one bushel 
I’ostpaid (.5 lbs. SOc) (10 lbs. $1..50) (2.5 lbs. ,$;{.();)).
